Chapter 6
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Bright and Cheerful]
Sora was waiting outside the house, fully dressed in his school uniform. For a last second send, he was surprised that it was a perfect fit. The sleeves weren't too long or short. The tie was easy to put on and wasn't tugging his neck. His pants were the perfect length. Everything was sharp and neat. He was a bit used to school uniforms, thanks to his old school that he really doesn't talk about much at all, having similar uniforms.
The only difference he made to it, was that he took the four charms that he got back during Izuku's beach cleaning, and put them in places, he thought comfortable. The crown necklace, he wore over the shirt. He had Kairi's good luck charm hanging out of his right pocket, and he had Axel and Roxas' gifts inside his left. He figured he'd take his friends with him on this new adventure. And this would make him look a bit unique, but not stand out too much. If the teacher said to put them away, he could just hide them under the uniform, easy as that.
Izuku also had bought Sora a backpack a few days before the exam, so that he could put the stuff he needed in there. Now that he was heading to school, he packed the essentials. A few writing utensils, some composition books, a water bottle if he was either thirsty or got a dry throat. At least that's what Izuku said was essential to him. But he also brought the paper with the basic spells on it, so he could maybe practice some more with them during his free time. He figured out Blizzard on his own, and Fire was easy to figure out again, but he was having a small bit of trouble figuring out Water, and since it was the other spell on the paper, he figured he'd take it and try during his spare time.
He saw the door open up and out came Izuku, dressed for success, although the tie was a bit puffy, it looked good. Made the guy look a bit more unique in a good way. Sora waved him over, and waited for his green haired friend to get to him, before they started walking to their destination. Izuku looked a bit embarrassed, but Sora figured that Inko said something to her kid that made him that way.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Corridors]
Sora was a bit excited to start this new adventure. Even through school would normally be considered boring, the school he was going to was made to train the best Heroes and top tier Support classmen. It wasn't going to be just pen and paper every day, a few laps around a field once a week, wash, rinse, repeat for the whole year. This would be a lot more than that.
He and Izuku both jogged their way to the places they needed to go. Sora opted to make it a race every time, but Midoriya politely refused, stating that Sora would easily win, despite Sora retorting with the two of them not knowing that unless they raced and found out. Regardless, Izuku buckled down on his refusals, and Sora respected his friends decision. They made good time anyway, and got to the entrance about half an hour before class starts.
"Time to start our Hero's Journeys." Sora said, proudly looking at the entrance to U.A.
"Yeah." Izuku agreed, nodding and taking the first step forward, Sora following behind him.
The two walked together and took in their surroundings. They were both here before, but they were more focused on the exams, rather than looking around. Now that they'll be coming here every day, it would be best to get a layout of where they need to go. It wasn't hard to figure out. The Hero course classes were upstairs, the support on ground level, other classes elsewhere, the cafeteria also on ground level, as well as the nurse, principal and dean's offices.
The two were right on time when getting to the Hero course classrooms, when Sora asked the question. "Hey. I forgot to ask. What classroom are you assigned to?"
"O-Oh." Izuku clammed up, shortly responding. "I was assigned to class 1-A."
"Really?" Sora replied, sounding very cheerful. "Me too! We're classmates Izuku."
Izuku perked up from that response. "Wait, are you serious?!"
"Yeah!" Sora said. "That's awesome."
"It really is." Izuku agreed, smiling at the fact that he and Sora would be in the same classroom. At least he had a friend that he could talk to in there.
"But don't let that stop you from making new friends." Sora started. "It won't stop me."
"U-Um, Right!" Izuku replied.
[Silence]
They stopped at the door to class 1-A and noticed the size.
"Man this thing is huge" Izuku stated. "Are their giants here?"
"They probably thought about that when making the door." Sora answered.
"The most promising students in the country are waiting behind this door." Izuku commented.
"And two more are about to go through them." Sora added.
Though that comment did help Izuku a little bit, he still couldn't help but wonder if two specific people were also in the class. In his head, he hoped that they were in separate classes, but then when they opened the door…
"Take your feet off of that desk now!" A familiar voice said.
"Huh?" Another one snarkily replied.
"It's the first day, and you're already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you cretin." The first voice explained.
"You're kidding me right?" The other guy retorted. "Your old school put a stick up your ass, or were you born with it?"
Izuku looked not so pleased, and Sora could see why. Though he only saw childhood photos of this friend of Izuku's, he figured that this guy was the infamous Katsuki Bakugou that he heard about from Inko. He recognised the other guy from the entrance exams, mainly for calling out Izuku for his mumbling and ridiculing him about it. Sora figured that Izuku wouldn't take it personally, but maybe he had a few other run ins with this guy that Sora didn't know about.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Among Kosei]
Sora decided to go in first, letting Izuku walk behind him.
"Let's start over," The guy with glasses said, regaining his composure, as if trying to make a first impression for Sora, who he saw walk in. "I'm Tenya Iida, from the Soumei Private Academy."
"Soumei huh?" Kakasuki said, not changing his attitude in the slightest. "So you must think you're better than me. I'm gonna have fun tearing you a new one."
Sora could already tell how this 'friendship' was even a thing. This guy seemed to have gotten praised a lot as a kid and Izuku was probably one of the kids who did praise him. He only knew this from what Inko said, but it was still obvious, considering that he didn't seem to show much respect for anything or anyone here. There was no other way this guy would have even gotten friends, if you could even call them that.
"You would threaten me?" Tenya responded, very shocked at the response that this guy gave him for trying to correct his actions. "Your own classmate? Are you sure you're in the right place?"
The two then turned to see Sora walk in, not noticing Izuku behind him. The rest of the class also turned their heads. Izuku was almost frozen in place, but Sora stepped in, finding an empty seat, but not walking over to it yet, instead stepping to the side to let the class see Izuku, not leaving his side, as to make sure he's still comfortable.
"Uh, hi." Izuku nervously said, trying to sound positive, earning a proud look from Sora.
"Good morning." Tenya greeted the two, walking over in a running man fashion, Introducing himself to the two, while Izuku tried to play it cool.
"Y-Yeah, I know." He sheepishly replied, still trying to keep his cool. "I'm Izuku Midoriya. It's super nice to meet you."
Sora was about to speak, but then Iida spoke before he could get the chance.
"Midoriya." He started. "You realized that there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you?"
Izuki had a slightly confused face from that question.
"You must be very perceptive." Tenya praised. "And I completely misjudged you. I admit, as a student, you are far superior to me."
While Midoriya was just thinking about how wrong that was, Sora smiled.
"Hey I recognise that messed up hair." Another voice said from behind the two. "Falling boy!"
Izuku turned around, very shocked to see this girl. Sora recognised her as the girl who stopped Izuku from tripping, back before the written exams, the moment she said that nickname. While the girl was talking about how amazing Izuku was during the practical and how he managed to pass, Midoriya was looking very red and was trying to thank the girl for apparently talking to the staff, which made her question how he knew about that, making Izuku need to explain how he knew it, which just made Sora laugh for a second.
"Wow Izuku." Sora complimented. "In less than a minute you already gained two friends. Nice job."
Izuku was still trying to keep whatever little cool he had left, while the girl was talking about meeting everyone, letting Iida's attention be taken off of him and onto Sora.
"Oh, my apologies." Tenya said. "I forgot that you were here. It's nice to meet you as well. What is you name?"
"My name is Sora." The keyblade wielder replied, offering his hand out to Tenya. "It's nice to meet you too. I hope we can be good friends."
Tenya smiled and firmly grasped Sora's hand, politely shaking it without too much force. "I agree. Let's work hard and become great friends."
"If you're just here to make friends than you can pack up your stuff now." A voice came from lower to the ground and outside the classroom.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Professor Aizawa Theme]
The four of them then look outside the door and saw...a guy in a sleeping bag. While Izuku, Tenya and the girl were all wondering what that guy was, not knowing it was a sleeping bag, Sora was just wondering why he was in one.
"Welcome to U.A's Hero Course." The guy said, fidgeting around his sleeping bag and unzipping is slightly, letting a juice pack pop out of where he unzipped, that he then proceeded to drink.
Sora was just questioning the whole sleeping bag thing. Did he slither here? Did he put it on just to mess with them? What else does he have under she sleeping bag? Is he going to get out of it? Just..why the sleeping bag?
The man then got up and unzipped from the sleeping bag, speaking as he did so. "It took eight seconds before you all shut up. That's not gonna work." He critiqued. "Time is precious. Rational students would understand that."
While Sora was going to say something back, he realised that this guy wasn't wearing the school uniform, and he was much older than the 15 year old realised. This guy was probably the Homeroom Teacher. He then very tiredly introduced himself to the class.
"Hello, I'm Shouta Aizawa." He stated. "Your teacher."
Yep. Sora guessed right, but looking at Izuku, he looked surprised, as well as the other two. Sora took no time at all and then said out loud to the other three. "We should probably find our seats."
"No need." Aizawa responded, pulling another set of clothes out of the bag. "Put these on and head outside."
[Silence]
Though confused at first, the four of them, as well as the rest of the class following suit to the locker rooms, and got into the new set of clothes, which Sora could only guess was a P.E. uniform, because they were heading outside with them. The uniform itself was also a good fit, but Sora couldn't admire the details about it. Instead he just put it on, found a spot to put Kairi's good luck charm on the pants, kept the necklace on, put the other charms in his back pocket, and then went outside with the other students Most of them were wondering what was even going on and Sora was just wondering if this is how schools work in this world.
"Alright, let's get to the point." Aizawa started. "We're doing a Quirk assessment test today."
"What?" Everyone except Sora responded. "A quirk assessment test?"
"But orientation." The girl from earlier spoke up. "We're gonna miss it."
"If you really want to make the big leagues, you can't waste time on pointless ceremonies." Aizawa explained. "Here at U.A. we're not tethered to traditions. That means I get to run my class however I see fit."
Everyone in the class seemed a bit uncomfortable, but Sora was just starting to understand the system here. There was no system. Whoever the teacher was, the classmates had to follow their rules. It was a very strange way of making people learn, but that also proved to Sora's earlier point that this wasn't going to be wash, rinse, repeat, so he was okay with it, as long as it wasn't too extreme.
"You've been taking standardised test most of your lives." Aizawa continued. "But you never got to use your quirks in physical exams before. The country is still trying to pretend we're all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It's not rational. One day the ministry of education will learn." He then turned his attention to Katsuki. "Bakugou, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam. What was your farthest distance throw with a softball when you were in junior high?"
"67 meters I think." Katsuki replied.
"Right." Aizawa commented, "Try doing it with your quirk."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Runaway Battle]
Katsuki was in position, and had the ball in his hand.
"Anything goes, just stay in the circle." Aizawa instructed. "Go on. You're wasting our time."
Katsuki got himself ready, looking rather calm when he said "Alright man you asked for it." He prepared the throw and then when he released the ball, he added an explosion from his palms, sending the ball flying. Making Izuku look a bit broken, only for Sora to poke the boys face and snap Izuku out of it.
"All of you need to know your maximum capabilities." Aizawa explained. "It's the most rational way of figuring out your potential as a Pro Hero." He held up the result to show 705.2 meters as the distance.
While some were amazed by the result that Katsuki made, others wanted to have a go at it, getting excited about using their quirks as much as they want. Then Aizawa said something, making sure everyone pays attention to what he had to say.
"So this looks fun huh?" He asked, sounding disappointed. "You have three years here to become a hero. You think it's all gonna be games and playtime?" He then smirked. "Idiots. Today you'll compete in eight physical tests to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none, and will be expelled immediately."
That shocked everyone, including Sora. This was a bit extreme. He noticed Izuku grab his wrist and look very stressed out. Sora wanted to comfort him, but Aizawa spoke again, glaring at Sora, while letting his hair up.
"And anyone who holds back on purpose will be expelled, regardless of what position you come in." He continued. "Like I said, I get to decide how this class runs, understand? If that's a problem you can head home right now."
[Silence]
This guy absolutely saw what Sora did on the test if he made that last point while looking at the Keyblade wielder. That was specifically said for Sora, so that this guy could see what he would really do, and not be able to help anyone regardless of whether or not he tried.
"You can't send one of us home!" The girl from earlier spoke up. "I mean, we just got here. Even if it wasn't the first day, that isn't fair!"
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST My Hero Academia]
"Oh and you think natural disasters are?" He cruelly retorted to them. "Or power hungry villains, Hmm? Or catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? No. The world is full of unfairness. It's a Hero's job to try and combat that unfairness."
Sora knew where this guy was coming from. He experienced it back on the Destine Islands when the Heartless first attacked and consumed the world, letting it fall to Darkness. Even though he got it back, he still understood the point. These things are unpredictable, sometimes irreversible, like with Riku and his connections to the Darkness being permanent, even though it doesn't affect Riku anymore, it still wasn't his friend's choice to make at the start.
"If you want to be a pro, then you're gonna have to push yourself to the brink." Aizawa continued. "For the next three years, U.A. will throw one terrible hardship after another at you. So go beyond. Plus Ultra style." He gestured the students to step up. "Show me it's no mistake that you're here."
Tenya got a bottle of water and took a sip getting himself fueled up. Katsuki was stretching his arm, getting pumped. The girl from before was getting mentally prepared, and Izuku was still nervous as ever. Sora then spoke, saying this mainly to the teacher, but to also boost the students morale.
"We'll show you that we all have what it takes to be a Hero." Sora confidently spoke, as if to challenge Aizawa's threat. "You'll be so amazed that even last place will be above the current standards."
"Show me with your actions, not your words." Aizawa said, taking that as a challenge. "Let the games begin."
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST U.A. Session]
First up was the 50 meter dash. Everyone else went in pairs, but Sora was singled out, due to the odd number, he did his dash by himself. Well, it was less of a dash and more of an instant use of flowmotion to get past the camera in a record time of 0.93 seconds.
Next was grip strength. Thanks to Sora's constant amount of lifting, cutting, throwing, and all around doing whatever he had to do, with heavy things, he got a grip strength of 510.8 kg of force.
Next was the standing long jump, which he didn't even need the flowmotion for, as he just jumped and did an air dash that cleared the sandbox. He noticed that Izuku didn't make it, and it was starting to worry him. He wanted to talk to the kid, but he most likely would get in trouble, so he just hoped that Midoriya would be okay. If push comes to shove then, no. Izuku will make it. Sora himself said that they would all go past his standards. He knows that Izuku has what it takes, and he knows that Izuku will prove it.
Next was repeated side steps. Sora lost count of how many he did, but kept going regardless, and eventually it was shown that he did 207 in the time he was given. Other students did better, like that purple ball haired guy, the pink skinned girl and a few others.
Next the ball throw. Sora was up before Izuku and the way he did it in hindsight probably shouldn't have counted, but it did, so whatever. He summoned his kingdom key, tossed the ball up and then struck the softball like he was playing the sport it was used for. It went flying and the distance was 612.9 meters before it hit the ground. If it was softball, it would have been a home run, but it wasn't, and he was still beaten by Katsuki with his 705.2 meters and the other girl who just let it float forever, making it infinite.
Now it was Izuku's turn to throw, Sora could tell that he was nervous, and wanted to cheer him on, but not only would that draw attention to Izuku, making him lose even more of his confidence, but that would also get eyes on him, and that would just make things worse for the both of them.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST You say Run]
He was gearing up for the throw and it looked like he was getting ready to feel some serious pain, he flinched, got ready, his veins started to glow as he threw the ball, but...nothing happened.
[Silence]
The distance was 46 meters, but Izuku looked like he was going crazy.
"Uhh..What gives?" Izuku mumbled. "I was trying to use it, just now."
"I erased your quirk." Aizawa said, his eyes glowing red, hair standing up, and scarf now floating around him as he spoke. "The judges for this exam, were not rational enough. Someone like you should never be allowed to enroll at this school."
That made Sora grit his teeth. He was angry at that last sentence. He was going to say something, but Izuku spoke up first.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Threat Incoming]
"Wait, you did what to my.." He stopped and noticed the attire's details. "Those goggles, I know you. You can look at someone and cancel out their powers. The Erasure Hero, Eraser Head."
While the others were commenting on who this guy was, Sora was just trying to hold himself back from speaking up against Aizawa. He didn't care how much this was known, no one should just tell someone that they can't do anything if they work for it. This guy didn't see half of the hard work that Izuku put in to get here. Sora did, and unless you know what they have been through, then you have no right to say what they can and can't do.
"You're not ready." Aizawa scolded. "You don't have control over your power."
That comment helped Sora calm down a small bit, but not by much. It's a valid reason, but at least start with that and maybe give him pointers on who to talk to about it, instead of belittling him.
"Were you planning to break your bones again?" Aizawa implied. "Counting on someone else to save your useless body?"
"No, that's not what I was trying to do." Izuku started, before getting grabbed by the scarf and violently pulled directly in front of Aizawa's face.
"No matter what your intentions are, you would be nothing more than a liability in battle." Aizawa continued. "You have the same reckless passion as another overzealous Hero I know. One who saved a thousand people by himself and became a legend. But even with that drive, You're worthless if you can only throw a single punch before breaking down."
Sora was getting even more annoyed with what he was saying with every word that came out.
"Sorry Midoriya." Aizawa pressed on. "With your power, there's no way you can become a hero."
[Silence]
That made Sora lose some of his composure, and he had his fists clenched so hard that he could feel his fingers about to dig into his hand. He had so much that he wanted to say to this guy, but had to keep himself level headed, or else, both he and Izuku would be out of here.
"I've returned your impractical quirk." Aizawa said. "Take your final throw. Hurry, get it over with."
The others didn't hear what Aizawa said, but the girl noticed how angry Sora was.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Yeah." Sora said, holding onto what little cool he had left unclenching his hands in the process. "For now."
"I've only got one shot at nailing this so what am I gonna do?" Izuku quietly asked himself.
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST You Say Run]
Sora had heard that, and he felt like he had to do something. He said that he'd make sure that Izuku would make it in U.A. He made that promise to Inko. He wasn't going to break it. He clenched his fists again took a deep breath and then he did something that he didn't regret at all.
"YOU CAN DO IT IZUKU!" He yelled out at the top of his lungs, making everyone jump and look at him. "SHOW THIS SLEEPY JERK WHO'S BOSS! WAKE HIM UP AND SHOW HIM YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A HERO!"
Sora noticed that all eyes were on him, but he didn't care. He said what he needed to say. Aizawa was annoyed at that outburst, but he then turned his direction to Izuku once more, who looked even more determined than before. He geared up, got ready and then threw the ball with all the force he could, using his quirk to make it go flying just as far as Katsuki's. 705.3 meters.
"Mr. Aizawa." Izuku spoke up, making the teacher look at him to see his injury.
Looking at the dammage, all he did was break one finger. He looked at Aizawa, staring with confidence and some pain.
"You see?" Izuku said, looking like he just spat in Aizawa's insults and smeared it in his face. "I'm still standing."
This caused Aizawa to smile. "This kid."
[Silence]
Everyone had their own critique. Some people praised the throw, others noted how it cost his finger to do. Sora just cheered Izuku again, complimenting on how he showed Aizawa what for. Sora also noticed that Katsuki was shocked at what they just saw. He also noticed that Katsuki was starting to fire up his palms and he then saw him start to run.
[Play KH BBS OST Extreme Encounters]
"HEY!" Katsuki yelled out, charging towards Izuku. "DEKU YOU BASTARD! TELL ME HOW YOU DID THAT OR YOUR DEAD!"
Sora wasted no time and used his flowmotion to blitz himself to Katsuki and push him off balance, making the explosive kid almost fall to the ground.
"Back off!" Sora said, getting in front of Izuku and extending his arms, keeping Midoriya behind him.
Katsuki recovered with an explosion and landed right in front of Sora, staring him down.
"Move it spiky hair or you'll be even more dead than he is!" Bakugou demanded, getting ready for a fight.
"Try me Temper Tantrum." Sora responded, getting ready to beat this bully to the ground.
Katsuki started to run to the two, but was then grabbed by Aizawa's scarf, and was stopped in place.
[Silence]
"Why...why the hell is your damn scarf...so strong?" Katsuki struggled to speak, as he still tried to get to Sora and Izuku.
"Because it's a capture weapon made out of carbon fiber and a special metal alloy." Aizawa stated, now looking at Sora. "Stand down. The both of you. It would be wise to avoid making me use my quirk so much. It gives me serious dry eye."
The rest of the class still thought it was amazing, but Sora kept his guard up, until Katsuki backed down. When he finally stopped resisting, Aizawa let him go. Sora walked with Izuku, to make sure that Katsuki wouldn't try anything with Midoriya.
[Play KH BBS OST Hau'oli Hau'oli]
Next test was the sit ups, which Sora couldn't be properly calculated, because he was stopped after 500, and Aizawa just put 500 for the results to move on. During these last tests though, Sora was keeping an eye on Izuku, both out of concern for his well being, from the injury, and out of self appointed necessity, because he didn't know if Katsuki was going to try anything.
Next the seated toe touch. This one, he did well, mainly because of all the stuff he did with flips, and tricks that involved him curling up into a ball, making him flexible enough to be above average, but not too special, as the guy with multiple limbs and the frog girl beat his score by a bit.
Lastly was the long distance run, which he scored first place, because he just didn't get tired at all. The guy runs everywhere he goes, and that doesn't include all of the weight that he sometimes has to carry, with items, armor, equipment, doing that on walls both vertically and horizontally, and doing it all in the intense desert heat of Agrabah, or the frozen mountains of Arendelle. Yeah. He was going to be fine.
[Silence]
"Alright, time to give you your results." Aizawa lazily said. "I've ranked you all from best to worst. You should probably have a good idea of your standing already. I'll just pull up the whole list. It's not worth going over each individual score."
He pulled up the list and gave the students about ten seconds to see it. The results are.
Momo Yaoyorozu 1st.
Sora {N/A} 2nd.
Shoto Todoroki 3rd.
Katsuki Bakugou 4th.

[Play KH BBS OST Shaded Truths]
Each student had their own thoughts going through their minds, but all of them except one knew that they were safe. The one who was ready for the worst was Izuku, as he was in last place, meaning that he was going to be expelled.
"And.." Aizawa started.
"I'll take Izuku's place!" Sora said, making the students look at him like he was crazy.
Aizawa stopped in his tracks and stared at Sora, shocked and almost angry at what he just heard.
"What did you just say?" He said in a very threatening tone.
"I said I'd take Izuku's place." Sora repeated, stepping up to Aizawa and looking him dead in the eye as he said it.
The entire class was silent and Izuku ran over to Sora, getting in front of the keyblade wielder. He tried to say something, but Aizawa used his scarf and moved the broken boned boy to the side, covering Izuku's mouth so the boy couldn't speak.
"You'd willingly throw your chance at being a hero away, for someone who has zero potential?" Aizawa questioned Sora, having his quirk activated, to make sure that the kid wouldn't do anything stupid.
"Izuku has plenty of potential." Sora said, not backing down in the slightest. "Or did you forget that he called your judgement of his quirk out with his softball throw?"
The students were all shocked at Sora for saying that. So much so that Tenya ended up commenting on Sora's actions.
"You are completely insane!" He said. "Offering to take a student's place when said student is faced with expulsion, and then insulting the teacher's methods is going to not only end your career as a hero, but your social life as you know it! Stop this act of harassment before you get yourself in any more trouble!"
Sora didn't back down, still looking at Aizawa as he said "Heroes don't step on their comrades to get to their goals."
That shut Iida up, as well as silence anyone else who wanted to say anything. Aizawa stepped forward looking down at Sora as he stood tall right in front of the kid. Sora didn't back down, clenching his fists and keeping his stare at Aizawa. The area was very tense. Not only was the second best student overall volunteering to be expelled, but he even challenged the teacher's opinion on Last place's performance, calling him out for his lapse in judgement. The stare kept going for a while, the students frozen in place and Izuku struggling to get free and try to help his friend, but then, he was released. Aizawa closed his eyes.
[Silence]
"If you didn't interrupt me before," Aizawa started. "I was going to say that I lied about the expulsion."
. . .
[Play Boku no Hero Academia OST Professor Aizawa Theme]
"WHAT!" Everyone except Momo said in unison.
"It was the most effective way to get the best results." Aizawa explained. "But when Sora said that he was offering to take Midoriya's place, I decided to test him and see if he would back down. If he did, then I would have expelled him."
The rest of the class looked at Sora like he was crazy and almost all of them asked why he did that. Sora just said that it was the right thing to do and that he followed his heart. He didn't regret it and would have done it for anyone else.
"That's it. We're done for the day." Aizawa spoke. "Pick up a syllabus in the classroom. Read it over before tomorrow morning." He finished as he walked to Izuku, handing him a paper. "Midoriya. Take this and go have the old lady fix you up. Things are gonna be tougher tomorrow when your actual training begins. Make sure you're prepared."
[Play KH BBS OST Innocent Times]
After Sora took Midoriya to the Nurses office, he grabbed two syllabuses and gave one to Izuku. He stuck with his friend for a good portion of the day. Tenya ended up approaching them and placed a hand on Izuku's shoulder, letting Midoriya know that he was requesting his attention.
"Ah...Hey there Iida?" Izuku said, a bit surprised.
"How's the broken finger doing?" Tenya asked.
"Oh. It's doing fine thanks to Recovery Girl." Midoriya responded, a bit more calm now.
The three of them walked together as Iida spoke up.
"I was a bit concerned by Mr. Aizawa's approach to class." He started. "But I trust the schools judgement. U.A. is the top program. Even so lying is downright immoral."
Sora and Izuku smiled at this. Iida wasn't a bad guy. He just took things like school very seriously.
"Heeeeeey!" A familiar female voice spoke out. "Wait up you three! Are you going to the station? I'll join you guys!"
It was of course the very same bubbly girl from before. She seems to really like hanging out with at least Izuku. Maybe from the praise she gave him earlier, he did something to amaze her. Maybe he saved her. Sora didn't know, but he also didn't mind.
"You're the infinity girl." Tenya commented.
"I'm Ochaco Uraraka." She said while nodding to conform Iida's statement about her score on the softball throw. "Let's see. Your name is Tenya Iida," She then looked at Sora. "You're Sora I think."
"You think correctly Ochaco." Sora said. "Nice to meet you."
"Likewise." She happily said. She then looked at Izuku. "And your name is Deku right? Midoriya?"
"Deku?" Izuku questioned, looking a bit shocked.
"Uh..yeah." Uraraka confirmed. "Isn't that what Bakugou called you?"
She was right. Katsuki called him Deku. But Sora didn't know why.
"Yeah. What gives?" Sora asked. "Why'd he call you that, and not your real name?"
"Um..." Izuku nervously started. "Deku's what Kacchan calls me to make fun of me."
"Well that sounds sportsman like." Tenya sarcastically commented of Katsuki's choice of name for Izuku.
"Oh I didn't realise that. I'm sorry." Ochaco apologised. "But you know what I like Deku. I think it would make a great Hero name, plus I think it sounds kinda cute."

That made Izuku turn more red than the chili peppers Sora used to cook with back at the Bistro in Twilight town.
"Oh is that how it is?" Izuku said quickly, almost accepting it as his new name.
"Just like that?" Iida pointed out. "Weren't you saying that it was an insult?"
"Hey. Words can have multiple meanings. Like how Aloha means hello and goodbye in Hawaian." Sora commented, silently thanking Stitch in the back of his head for that fun fact.
"While you do bring up a valid point, it still stands to question the sudden acceptance of that name." Tenya responded.
Izuku was covering his face, getting even more red and Ochaco was just confused. Regardless, the four of them decided to walk with each other to the station. It was fun and even though Sora and Izuku both were biting bullets on the first day, it was still a pretty good success, at least to Sora it was.
Well here we go. We now start the school off with a bang. Sora's already made an enemy of Katsuki, friends with Tenya and Ochaco, and he's made quite the first impression on the class. I'm pretty sure this is how Sora would act, based on all of the stuff I've seen him do in the games and where he has and hasn't grown in certain departments. Such as him still being a bad judge of character, based on first meetings, but sticking with Izuku, might help our Keyblade wielder in the future. Also if you wonder why Aizawa didn't stop Sora, when he went to protect Izuku from Katsuki. He was just too slow on the activation. He can still cancel out Sora's magic and flowmotion. He just can't make Sora unsummon the keyblade. Hope you guys enjoyed this long chapter, and until I decide to upload again. ;)
